Season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, February 17. Special midweek (Wednesday) services will focus on our Savior’s sacrifice for our eternal salvation. This year’s theme will be “Hands of the Passion”, letting us see our Savior’s love as hands of people around him were raised against him, but also as his hands were pierced for our rescue. Our Pastors will be sharing preaching with Pastor Reichert of Good Shepherd and Pastors Brandt and Schupmann of St. John’s of Juneau. Ash Wednesday services will be held at 1:30, 3:30, 6:00, & 7:30pm.
Video on Facebook and YouTube
Sunday worship will be streamed on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ststephensbd/) and YouTube. Go to www.ssbdwels.com and click on “YouTube” and select St. Stephen’s Worship, Devotions or Bible Study.
Bible Studies
- Winter Bible Study “Book of Acts”. The new Christian church was filled with ups and downs. God worked to bring great numbers into his fold. The world also tried to keep God’s Word from spreading. One thing we do see, God blessed his church tremendously. Join us for a study of the book of Acts to learn about the growth of God’s church after his ascension. To join us for in-person Bible class, join us Mondays at 7:00pm and Wednesdays at 11:00am. Streaming video isn’t working from the basement, but we are recording the Monday session and putting it on YouTube, Wednesdays at noon. An archive of classes including all the previous chapters are available on Youtube for those who want to review or who haven’t attended and want to catch up and join the study in person or online.
Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool will be hosting a Open House on Tuesday, February 23, 2021 from 6pm to 8pm. For additional information, call Kim Steinberg at 885-4317 or Duane Ohland at 210-3702.
Getting married this next year? The 2021 Marriage Seminar will be Saturday, February 20th, from 9 am to 1 pm in the church basement. Using the study-discussion guide “Building the Christian Home”, we will touch on God’s “blueprint” for marriage, the foundation and structure of a Christian marriage, finances in a family, and the growing family. Please use the sign-up sheet in the back of church or call the office at 885-3309 to reserve your spot. Signing up will help us have an adequate supply of study guides and refreshments.

Children’s Offering Envelopes We give our offerings as part of our worship to God. We generously bring a firstfruit offering as thanks to God for all he has done and given to us. It is important that we pass this down to our children. In order to help parents with this, we have special envelopes for children. They are located in the back of the church by the Sunday School materials. Each box contains an envelope for each Sunday of the month and a place for the child’s name. Feel free to pick up a box, as we train a future generation in their life of stewardship.
